Click on Element

This is a pre-built Action located under the @Custom Element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to perform a click operation on the element specified in the input value. The result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

The Click on Element action works only when the VerifyExists action is executed in a preceding step.

Syntax

Input Value: <ObjectType>;<VisibleText(Optional)>;<Index>;<abs(optional)>

Argument	Description
<ObjectType> (Required)	Provide the object type you want to preform the click operation. (e.g., button, link)
<VisibleText> (Optional)	Provide the visible text associated with the object.
<Index> (Required)	Provide the position of the object you want to identify based on its sequence in the application. Note: Index start from 0.
<abs> (Optional)	Provide the absolute XPath of the object you want to identify for the click operation.

Note:

• If the last argument abs is defined, the action executes using absolute identification based on the specified absolute XPath provided in the input.

• To skip an optional input value, use an extra semicolon (;).

Output Value: <Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)

Argument	Description
<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)	Both dynamic variable stores the status as True or False.

Example 1: Clicking on UI Element

In this example, we are explaining how to perform a click action on a specific object using the provided identification details.

• Action: Click on Element

• Input Value: button;;0

  • The first argument (button) specifies the object type to be identified.

  • The second argument is left blank to skip an optional value.

  • The third argument (0) specifies the index of the object when multiple matching elements are present.

Output Value: {Status}

• The result of the click operation is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable, with the following possible values:

  • True: If the element is clicked successfully.

  • False: If the element is not clicked successfully.

Logical Explanation: The Click on Element action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (button;;0). The action locates the matching UI element based on the object type and index and performs a click operation on it. The execution result of the click action (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.

Example 2: Clicking on UI Element using Optional Parameters

In this example, we are explaining how to perform a click action on a UI element using optional identification parameters.

• Action: Click on Element

• Input Value: button;Log In;0

  • The first argument (button) specifies the object type to be identified.

  • The second argument (Log In) specifies the visible text of the element.

  • The third argument (0) specifies the index of the object when multiple matching elements are present.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The result of the click operation is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable, with the following possible values:

    • True: If the element is clicked successfully.

    • False: If the element is not clicked successfully.

• Logical Explanation: The Click on Element action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (button;Log In;0). The action locates the matching UI element using the object type, visible text and index, and then performs a click operation. The execution result of the click action (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.
